Plenty of options. Still think we'll be 3-4-3 based on signings to date (and assuming we announce Westbrooke):
Jaakola Kilgour Ehmer Harries Hare Westbrooke Grant Leahy Nicholson JCH Barrett

For me I'd go for 4-2-3-1 and assuming Westbrooke signs on the dotted line:
................Jaakkola........... Hare...Ehmer...Kilgour..Leahy .........Grant.....Ogogo.......... Rodman.....Westbrooke....Nicholson ...................JCH.....................
All we need now IMO is a left back and perhaps a winger and we've got a strong squad for next year.

I think if BG wants to play with a back four, we NEED a LB. Back three, Leahy is fine - he's decent going forward and got a good delivery on him but I'm not confident in his defensive capabilities on the whole. I think our left side will be heavily targeted if we play a back four with the current crop.

People seem to have forgotten Jack Baldwin. Whatever team BG picks he will need superb man-management skills to keep everyone happy. UTG!

Arguably one of the best starting 11 we’ve had on paper for 15-20 years and there’s every chance that none of us are going to be able to see them play live this season.

I can't for the life of me figure out a starting eleven or what formation we will play. the ones that I feel will start most games (if fit) are Jaakola Klgour Ehmer Nicholson and JCH (assuming he remains)
The ones I feel will rotate are Little Hare Baldwin Harries Leahy Kelly Westbrook Ogogo Grant Hargreaves Barret Rodman Daly Ayunga
I think it is good that we have got the new players in early for the management to work on formations

Based on current squad and what I have seen of the players I would choose to go with 4-3-3
.......................Jaakkola........................ Hare ..... Kilgour ...... Ehmer..... Leahy .........Upson .....Grant......Ogogo........ Nicholson .................................Barrett ......................Clarke-Harris.................
I think the obvious weaknesses are defensively at LB and lack of creativity in the middle. What I am impressed with so far is we seem to be building a squad with some depth and players with the ability to change our shape and formation depending on game situations

I think Rodman is underrated, he works hard for the team and provides an end product, he's chipped in with some important goals for us in the past as well as doing a decent job when he was utilised out of position as a wing back last year when Little and Hare were injured.
I would start Nicholson on the left where he can cut inside onto his right foot like he did in the MLS and have Rodman or another winger on the right rather than push Barrett out wide and move Nicholson to the right. Just my opinion.

I like the idea of your front 3 and could possibly play Barrett as part of a central 3 to add some creativity

Best formation is really tricky, but the great thing is that there should be several good options to go with. To get the best out of our key players, I would probably go with a 3-4-3, or 4-2-3-1.
Jaakola Kilgour, Ehmer, Baldwin Hare, Grant, Westbrooke/Barrett, Leahy Rodman, JCH, Nicholson
Or
Jaakola Hare, Ehmer, Kilgour, Leahy Grant, Ogogo Barrett/Rodman, Westbrooke, Nicholson JCH
Edit: assuming Westbrooke signs of course, fingers crossed!

Most of the line ups selected by the fans only have one recognised striker starting (JCH), my belief is that there will be many occasions next season when we may need more than one striker on the pitch.

Like this but would go 4 3 3 with Daly in for Rodman, for me we ve never had so many options or is it covid boredom 😂 perhaps Harries at left back?

Interesting that no one seems to have room for Daly

_____________Jaakkola ____Baldwin___Ehmer___Kilgour Rodman___Grant____Westbrooke__Leahy _______Daly____JCH____Nicholson
Toss-up between Hare & Rodman at RWB for me. Hare looked brilliant last season before his injury & probably has the best delivery in the squad, but Rodman offers experience, height, a goal threat & more technical ability on the ball. Nice to have two such strong options!

I think it could be a Chelsea-esque line up as a 3-4-3 with the "wingers" actually full backs/wing backs:
------------- Jak -------------
-- Kilgour - Ehmer - Baldwin --
Hare - Grant - Westbrooke - Leahy
-- Nicholson - JCH - Daly --
Subs: JVS, Harries, Little, Ogogo, Upson, Barrett, Ayunga
Westbrooke may not be known for putting a foot in but with a defensive midfielder alongside him and 3 very good CBs behind him, I think we will be solid enough.

Diamond formation. Keeper-Jak Fullbacks-Hare,Leahy Centrebacks-Baldwin,Ehmer Deep midfield-ogogo/Harries Midfield-Grant ,Upson/Zane Forward midfield-Barrett Strikers-Daly , JCH
Subs to also include Kilgour,Nicholson,Ayunga,Rodman. To enable formation change to standard 442 or 532

A really good point actually. If we play 3ATB then I think we can afford to have the more creative options in the middle anyway. Either way, the likes of Hare/Rodman/Leahy/Kelly/Little will all be putting shifts in from WB anyway to make it 5ATB.
